 How it Works  
Listing an eBay Giving Works item just got a whole lot easier!

In the Sell Your Item form on eBay, click on the "Add" link under "Donate percentage of sale" within the Pricing and duration section.

Click on "Select a new nonprofit" from the drop-down menu to search for a charity.

Search or browse the nonprofit directory, powered by MissionFish, to find a beneficiary organization for your listing.

Choose a nonprofit from the search results by clicking the Select button. To learn more about a specific charity, click on the nonprofit name.

Can't find your favorite nonprofit, recommend they join for free.


First time users will be prompted to complete a one-time only registration process with MissionFish, the dedicated solution provider for eBay Giving Works. Select Agree and Continue to authorize eBay to share basic transaction data with MissionFish.

Note: You will be asked to submit a credit card to complete the registration process. Supplying your credit card information enables MissionFish to process your donations.


Select a donation percentage (10%-100%). Keep in mind, a $10 minimum donation is required if your item sells.

Note: The $10 minimum does not apply to nonprofit sellers.

When a seller donates 100% of their final sale price, eBay will donate insertion and final value fees on successful sales to the nonprofit selected in the listing.


Review your donation information and submit your listing.
